[802.3_EPOC] Continuing work on EPOC objectivesŠ
SG members,
I will be unable to attend the conference call tomorrow, so we will likely
not work on the objectives.
In order to keep the work moving along, I would like to open a dialog here
on the mailing list. I've copied below the latest revision of the
objectives that were adopted and those that still need work. Please
comment and/or suggest changes to the "TO BE CONSIDERED" set.
ADOPTED IN MARCH
1. Specify a PHY to support subscriber access networks using the EPON
protocol and operating on point-to-multipoint RF distribution plants
comprised of all-coaxial cable or hybrid fiber/coaxial media.
2. Maintain compatibility with 1G-EPON and 10G-EPON, as currently defined
in IEEE Std. 802.3 with minimal augmentation to MPCP and/or OAM if needed
to support the new PHY.
5. PHY to support symmetric and asymmetric data rate operation.
6. PHY to support independent configuration of upstream and downstream
transmission operating parameters.
7. PHY to operate in the cable spectrum assigned for its operation without
causing harmful interference to any signals or services carried in the
remainder of the cable spectrum.
TO BE CONSIDERED
4. Provide at least one physical layer specification that is capable of
operating at :
A baseline data rate of at least 1 Gbps at the PHY service interface when
transmitting in 120 MHz, or less, of assigned spectrum under baseline
plant conditions;
data rates lower than the baseline rate when transmitting in less than
120 MHz of assigned spectrum or when plant conditions prevent a higher
data rate;
data rates higher than the baseline rate and up to 10 Gbps when
transmitting in more than 120 MHz of assigned spectrum or when plant
conditions support a higher data rate;
9. PHY to have a BER better than or equal to 10-10 at the PHY service
interface.
